My co-workers have shown me the ways of disc golf and I am now hooked. I have discs and I am trying to play more often. I figure it is fairly good exercise ... at least I get out of the house and walk around for a while. My new desire is to find a disc golf basket which I can set up in my back yard. There are ways to build my own, but I am not good at completing projects which I start. Just ask Julie about all of the home projects which sit for months before being finished. I am looking for a portable basket. I have found a few on-line so maybe I can get one soon. It sure would be nice to practice in the yard. I'll let you know if I finally get one.

I like this comic strip called "User Friendly". Today's strip is pretty good and talks about how Al Gore invented the Internet. I thought it was very good. Take a look.
Everyone at our house is feeling better today. That is a good thing. We have had enough sickness for a while.
Remember that saying, "What goes around comes around"? Well, it does and it did. Warning: The rest of this post talks about my family and the sickness we have had recently. If you do not like this type of discussion, you have been warned. The whole family has been sick in the past week or so. For me, it has been something to observe and marvel at how easily a virus or sickness can be transmitted. See, about ten days ago Carter had a cold. He did not sleep well for a couple of nights but then had only a runny nose. Hailey then developed a runny nose and coughs at night. So there were another few nights which were not too pleasant at our house. Monday night of this past week Justyn began Vacation Bible School. When I picked up Carter and Hailey that night, Justyn's teacher found me and said Justyn had spent quite a bit of time in the bathrooms. So I found Justyn and he told me his stomach hurt. Being a guy, I told him to tough it out. Oh, and the fact that Justyn likes to use that excuse whenever his is in a new or unfamiliar situation. So I dismissed the episode.... Read More »

I finally went through the graduation ceremony for the University of Phoenix on June 2, 2007. I was not really looking forward to sitting in the auditorium for two or more hours, but I really wanted to be hooded. The Ceremony It was actually a very enjoyable experience. I was able to see all of my classmates and catch up a bit on their lives. That was a lot of fun. It was also fun to remember some of the more trying times we experienced together. I guess it is true that adversity pulls a team together because I am closer to that group of people than to many others in my life -- and we did most of our interaction over the Internet. I also enjoyed being able to have my parents there. It was, perhaps, a small element of my overall experience in gaining my Masters Degree. But I started my education with them around and it was very fulfilling to have them there. So, thanks Mom and Dad. Your presence made the day seem more special to me. Finally, the day just would not have been a success... Read More »
